Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 102: Two more retainers, a miserable young man

Chen Dazhu subconsciously glanced at the purple-horned deer eating Qiurong grass nearby. At that time, the old woman sent a purple-horned deer to thank Fu Changsheng for saving her life. Could it be that Fu Changsheng thought that one was too few and difficult to breed, so he came to ask for another male purple-horned deer? !

Their family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.

Chen Dazhu blocked the purple-horned deer behind him without leaving any trace.

Fu Changsheng landed on the flying boat, and without beating around the bush, he bowed and said directly:
"I heard in the market that after the demise of the Li family, the spiritual fields that Fellow Daoist Cai had originally rented were also taken back by the Zhang family. Is he still renting spiritual fields from others now?"

Without waiting for Fairy Cai to reply.

Chen Dazhu then said in a humming voice:
"In Anyang County, only your five great families have extra spiritual fields. Originally, we..."

The words were not finished.

Cai Xiangu turned her head and glared at him fiercely. Chen Dazhu shrank his neck and swallowed back his words of complaint. Cai Xiangu smiled and said:
"My benefactor, my husband and I have been idle at home for the past few years, and we are thinking of forming a team to go hunting in the mountains."

"Fellow Daoist Cai, my clan has ninety acres of spiritual farmland that needs to be taken care of. Do you two want to come and help take care of it? The reward is 10% more than what the Zhang family offered you before."

Chen Dazhu was stunned.

Now that someone has asked them to do something, they are already very grateful. Yet Fu Changsheng actually offers them a 10% higher salary than before.

There are such good things in the world.

He must be dreaming.

Cai Xiangu was stunned at first, then after she realized what was happening, she quickly said:
"My benefactor, you are already a great favor to give us a job. How can we ask for an extra 10% reward?"

Hear this.

Chen Dazhu woke up immediately.

There was no reason for this old woman to push the spirit stone away. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she saw Fairy Cai shoot a glance at her as if she had the ability to predict the future. Chen Dazhu immediately wilted.

Fu Changsheng said truthfully:

"Fellow Daoist Cai, I will offer you a 10% higher reward, but I have one requirement. You must eat and live in our Fu family and sign a contract for a five-year period. During these five years, we can help you buy anything you need, but you cannot leave the mountain gate."

The traitor Li Guiming appeared.

Even though he had a good impression of Fairy Cai, Fu Changsheng still didn't want outsiders to be able to enter and exit the mountain gate at will or communicate with outsiders just to be on the safe side.

Food and accommodation are provided.

Where can you find such a good thing?

The couple has no relatives to associate with.

Cai Xiangu was naturally happy to do so, but her eyes fell on the small house behind her, and she said with some embarrassment:
"My benefactor, my husband and I have a daughter. Can we let her live in your mountain gate? Yulian is usually very quiet. Even at home, she won't step out of the door for ten days or half a month. She will definitely not disturb you."

"That's no problem. If it's convenient for you, you can pack up and leave with me now."

They were packing up their belongings to go hunting in the mountains.

Cai Xiangu immediately thanked her profusely:

"My benefactor, once we collect this magic circle, we can set off immediately."

"Well, the space on the flying boat is limited. I will put these purple-horned deer into your spirit beast bags for the time being."

They can still leave together on a flying boat? !
Fairy Cai thanked him again happily, and swiftly put away the formation, turned around and went into the hut. After a while, she came out with a daughter who was covered in a green robe from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes exposed. The three of them got on the flying boat.

When the flying boat stopped at the top of Niu Shou Mountain.

Chen Dazhui and his wife were stunned for a long time.

Isn't Niu Shou Mountain the land of the Zhang family? How did it become the property of the Fu family overnight?

After reacting.

Cai Xiangu was shocked.

My benefactor is truly amazing. He first killed the Li family and then the Zhang family, and now he has directly occupied this mountain. Who knows, he might even be promoted to a ninth-rank family in the future.

The couple worked diligently to help with farming.

Wait for them a hundred years later.

The benefactor might continue to take their daughter in because of their hard work, so that their daughter would have a place to live.

Fu Changsheng briefly explained the precautions and introduced Molan and his fourth sister to Cai Xiangu and his wife, then turned around and returned to Luofeng Mountain.

As soon as he left.

Chen Dazhu, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately said:
"Old woman, we absolutely cannot do this job. The Zhang family has been destroyed, and the daughter of the Zhang clan leader can't just sit there and watch. She will definitely find ways to retaliate. If she treats my husband and me as accomplices of the Fu family during the attack on Niu Shou Mountain and kills us together to vent her hatred, wouldn't that be unfair!"

"You old man, you'll die if you say less, right?!"

The current head elder of the Shangguan family is Shangguan Feng.

Shangguan Feng had spread the word seven years ago that anyone who touches Fu Changsheng would be his enemy. Although Zhang family's daughter and Taoist partner Shangguan Hui is also a foundation-building elder, it is said that she was seriously injured and has been in seclusion for many years. She is obviously useless, otherwise why would the benefactor attack Niu Shou Mountain!

Cai Xiangu glared at Chen Dazhu fiercely and warned:

"This place is nothing like our own home. If you want to say anything next time, remember to think about it first. If you do it again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

This is a great opportunity for their family.

We must not let this old man mess it up.

When Fu Changsheng returned to Luofeng Mountain, he heard a familiar mechanical voice in his mind:

"Ding"

"You found two spirit plant husbands for the clan and received ten clan contribution points."

Seeing that the family contribution value panel was finally not zero, Fu Changsheng felt more confident. However, he planned to exchange the information on the day closest to the opening of Qingcheng Mountain, when the information he could provide would be the most complete.

Arriving at the meeting room, Fu Changsheng called his eldest brother Fu Changren over:
"Brother, the Spirit Testing Platform will be completed soon. I need to retreat for a while. I'll have to trouble you to preside over the Immortal Ascension Conference."

Fu Changren was stunned for a moment.

Never thought about it.

Fu Changsheng actually assigned such an important task to him. He was so grateful that he was filled with passion and energy again.

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely do everything perfectly."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly and turned to the backyard. Liu Meizhen had heard the good news that the Fu family had captured Niu Shou Mountain. She looked at her husband with pride. It was a pity that she was unable to participate in the battle. The two of them stayed together for a while.

Fu Changsheng strung the three green lotus seeds he won in the lottery into necklaces and hung them on the three children.

But I saw a faint green light flashing on the lotus seeds.

Every flash can absorb the spiritual energy scattered around, which then passes through the lotus seeds and enters the child's body.

Liu Meizhen carefully observed the blue lotus seeds for a while, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes:

"My dear, these lotus seeds are good stuff. With these lotus seeds, the eldest and the youngest will definitely be stronger, and the second child will also be able to make up for the weakness he was born with."

I hope so.

Fu Changsheng said apologetically:

"Meizhen, I may have to stay in seclusion for a year. I won't be able to attend the baby's full moon or hundredth day. You will have to work hard for me."

"It's okay. You and I are both cultivators. We don't need to worry about these mundane matters. My husband, just rest assured and retreat. When I am out of confinement, I can help my elder brother with the clan affairs."

Eldest brother Fu Changren has become an ordinary person.

There are many things that we are not able to do.

This was also the reason why he came to find Mei Zhen, he wanted her to help share some of the burden.

Seeing that Fu Changsheng was about to go into seclusion, Liu Meizhen quickly reminded him:

"This Ascension Conference is of extraordinary significance. It is the first time that the clan has reopened the Spirit Testing Platform after seven years of silence. It is also the first time that you, my husband, have been promoted to clan leader. The Spirit Testing Platform will also be engraved the day after tomorrow. I suggest that you personally preside over this Ascension Conference before you go into seclusion."

Fu Changsheng was thinking that there would be a tough battle to be fought in Qingcheng Mountain in a year, so he had to hurry up to improve his cultivation and practice the Purple Qi Divine Light. Hearing this, he pondered for a while and nodded:
"Then I'll listen to you, Meizhen."

Anyway, these ten days won’t make a difference.

The Fu family restarted the Ascension Conference seven years later.

Such a grand event.

After receiving the message, the whole Qili Village became more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

In the past seven years, every household bought new clothes for the children who met the requirements for the spiritual root test, and slaughtered pigs and sheep. Everyone wanted to be the first to enter the Fu clan ancestral hall and burn the first incense stick, so that the ancestors would bless their children to have their spiritual roots tested.

Every household is busy with this.

Thirteen-year-old Shitou was carrying a load of wood that had just been cut down from the mountain, and walking steadily towards the large blue brick and tile house at the innermost part of the village. His clothes were already tattered, and his hands, which were resting on the shoulder pole, were covered with calluses. His young face revealed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.

When they passed the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Auntie Pang and Auntie Qiu, who were chatting, were stunned for a moment. Auntie Qiu cried out and said hurriedly:

"Shitou, why are you still chopping wood in the mountains at this time? The upper tribe has said that today we will bring all the tribesmen of the right age who have not had their spiritual roots tested in seven years to Luofeng Mountain. In less than half an hour, the envoys from the upper tribe will arrive. You should hurry home and change into new clothes."

The fat aunt beside her was also busy saying:
"Eight years ago, you missed the last Immortal Ascension Conference. If you miss it again this time, you will be fourteen. According to the clan's previous practice, you are not eligible to participate after you are fourteen. Your father is really stupid. Why didn't he tell you in advance about such an important matter?"

Aunt Qiu winked at Aunt Pang.

Aunt Fat immediately stopped talking when she thought of something. After Shitou thanked her and left quickly, the two of them came together and sighed:
"Well, the old saying is still right, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. The year Shitou's mother died, Shitou was less than one year old, and his damn father hurriedly married the village chief's cousin Chen before he was a hundred days old. Look what happened, his stepmother gave birth to a big fat boy within five months of entering the family. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two had been hooking up before Shitou's mother died."

"That's right, but I feel sorry for Shitou. He was tortured by this dog couple when he was less than eight years old. All the heavy work and even women's work were done by Shitou alone. Look, he is already thirteen years old this year, but he is as thin as a stick and is not even as tall as my nine-year-old Goudan."

“It’s not because of exhaustion from work.”

"I heard that the reason why Shitou didn't make it to the Immortal Ascension Assembly of the clan eight years ago was because he was secretly locked up in the dilapidated temple in the back mountain by his stepmother. He was locked up there for more than ten days. Fortunately, Chunhua's father went up the mountain to chop firewood and encountered a heavy rain. He found him when he went into the dilapidated temple to take shelter from the rain. It's strange to say that he was only six years old at the time. The doors and windows of the dilapidated temple were nailed shut. I don't know how he survived in there."

"Some people say that the headless statue in the ruined temple showed its power, which is why he was able to escape death."

"Shitou has such a miserable life. If anyone else had been mistreated like this, they would have reported it to the clan long ago. But his stepmother is the village chief's cousin, and Shitou's father is a spineless person who dares not even fart at home. Poor Shitou."

"."

Aunt Pang and the other person seemed to be talking in low voices, but every word they said penetrated into Shi Tou's ears, and the door of their home was almost in front of them.

Shitou paused.

Bring the shoulder wood to the corner.

He turned around and ran towards the village entrance.

he knows.

If you enter this house, you will definitely not be able to get out.

That vicious stepmother would definitely not let him participate in the Ascension Conference as he wished. Although he might not be able to detect his spiritual roots, that was the only chance to change his destiny.

This is also the motivation for him to endure and continue to work like a slave in this family.

If not.

He has long since left his hometown.

Shi Tou looked ahead, the sun was shining, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time.

next moment.

With a "bang", a wooden stick hit him heavily on the back of his head. He felt dizzy, staggered, and fell to the ground.

"Mom, look at my accuracy? I'm not bragging, it's always accurate, hahahaha"

"Of course not. My precious son is going to learn the immortal arts soon."

Shitou vaguely heard the conversation between his stepmother and his brother. At the corner of his own front door, his father was half-hiding behind the door, hunched over, but he never took a step out of the door:
"Is it still impossible to change my fate?!"

This was Shi Tou’s last thought before he fainted.

but.

He is so unwilling!
Chen took a step forward, squatted down and sniffed Shitou's breath, and said nonchalantly:

"He's not dead. My Kang'er is very accurate. He quickly carried him to the ancient temple and locked him up when no one was around. He would be found by the clan members when they came to check for the heads."

Shitou was so thin that he had only a few pounds of flesh on his body. Chen's mother easily carried him into the dilapidated temple, locked the door, and left.

But don't know.

After they left.

However, the back of Shitou's head, which had been bleeding profusely, stopped bleeding automatically, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it became as smooth as before, and there was no trace of injury at all.
